I attended the Lecture about Anastasia of the Ringing Cedar books by Leonis Sharashkin both in Queensland and Victoria. If there is one important comment that I would take from the lecture that has relevance to the prosperity of any Ground Crew is have a taste of rural life first before considering whether or not it's what you would like or have the ability to sustain. Most city dwellers that make sea changes in their lives have all the conveniences at their finger tips. In the case of the Ground Crew life will be much more primative than most of us have ever experienced. I'm merely trying to place a realistic overview of the harshness of rural life. There isn't any cotton wool to protect us from the cold. However, such life will certainly become more fulfilling in both a physical and spiritual sense.
